What follows is a comment I entered on the UMNS Facebook page under this post that asks the question:

People thought President Kennedy was crazy when he shot for the moon. Leaders dream big. So what’s your church’s moonshot?

So I offered this:

I bet many could guess what I’m going to say. The “moon-shot” is actually a good illustration of what an entire country and its research/development can achieve if they go for it all-out. Similar also to the World War 2 re-tooling effort. And that is a radical transformation of our fossil-fuel based economy, and a sharp turn (or turn around) to renewables, and to extend this effort to participation in a worldwide collaboration (ie. Paris and international cooperation and collaboration). Most importantly here, iun the context of CHURCH, we as a people MUST begin to awaken to the Creation realities that have been negelcted by modern industiral/technological society, and shoved to the periphery of our theology. We HAVE to revolt in the name of an obedient theology. We’re talking as big as the Protestant Reformation (and beyond/bigger). And this, given our circumstances, is NOT hyperbolic or sensationalist, but based upon the best science and the most intergral theology.

The title of my post here is yet another stream of consciousness from MLK,  where he said that “our country must experience a true revolution in values;  from a thing-oriented society,  to a person-oriented society” (Riverside sermon April 4, 1967). Only now,  in the realization that MLK was very aware of the larger universe,  and that “all are connected in an inescapable network of mutuality”,  the “person-oriented society” includes the realization that the “inescapable network” is the larger context,  upon which EVERYTHING “holds together” (Colossians 1:17)
